“In a recent citywide poll, fifteen percent more residents said that they watch television programs about the visual arts than was the case in a poll conducted five years ago. During these past five years, the number of people visiting our city’s art museums has increased by a similar percentage. Since the corporate funding that supports public television, where most of the visual arts programs appear, is now being threatened with severe cuts, we can expect that attendance at our city’s art museums will also start to decrease. Thus some of the city’s funds for supporting the arts should be reallocated to public television.”

The author claims that since the corporate funding is experiencing severe cuts the attendance at his/her arts museum will start to decrease. The author also suggests that such a situation could be avoided if some of the city's fund foe supporting arts are reallocated to public television. Stated in this way the argument fails to consider several key factors rather arriving at a conclusion hastily. The data does not seem to support the conclusion the authors argument is weak and unconvincing.

Firstly the author readily assumes that the public television programs are the only source for the people to know about arts in the museums. Recently google has started a new project called virtual tour on museums which helps you to take a virtual tour of the museum an explore it. This has created a wide spread interest in the people and has driven them to visit the arts museum most of them visiting atleast for the sake of comparing the virual tour with the real one. With the recent advancement in technology the information about art museums can be collected via mobile applications as well. So the severve cuts in the television programs should be a contributing factor for the reduction in the attendance.

Secondly the increase in the viewership of the television programs on art museums has been directly compared to the increase in the attendance...

...The argument that it is essential to impose a moratorium on further immigration in order to protect the local is not coherent. The line of reasoning presented makes several unwarranted assumptions, which inevitably lead to an illogical conclusion. Therefore, a deeper analysis is necessary to comprehend the logical gaps in the chain of ideas.
Initially, the author's conclusion goes beyond the evidence. The argument assumes, without proof, that the inflow of immigrant workers are the cause of the decline in the average compensation of unskilled labor. It can be noted that there is no information either about the kind of jobs that the immigrant workers do or about the wages that they receive. While it can be true that the immigrant workers may be hired as unskilled workers it is surely wrong to assume that all of them are hired to do low skill tasks. For instance, the immigrant workers may be hired to assume leading positions such as CEO.
Moreover, the argument presupposes that a moratorium on further immigration would cast this kind of problem. However, it is not guaranteed that this action would really help. For example, the immigrant workers may be needed, because the local workers may not want to do unskilled jobs that are necessary for the good health of local economy.
Furthermore, the argument is unconvincing as it stands, for it implies that the downward pressure on wages is caused by the immigration of workers and neglects the fact that the economy may be...

...Question 2:
The following appeared in a memorandum from the business department of the Apogee Company:
“When the Apogee Company had all its operations in one location, it was more profitable than it is today. Therefore, the Apogee Company should close down its field offices and conduct all its operations from a single location. Such centralization would improve profitability by cutting costs and helping the company maintain better supervision of all employees.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.
My response 2 (405 words) :
The author concludes that the Apogee Company should close down its field offices and centralize all of its operation in one location in order to cut costs and help the company to maintain better supervision of all staffs. As a result, the Apogee Company would improve the company’s profitability. The line of reasoning is that the Apogee Company had ever been more profitable than it is today because of its centralized operation in the past. However, this argument is problematic in two respects.
First, the argument is based on the questionable assumption that centralization strategy that have ever proved effective in the past will work in today’s business world. This assumption is not necessarily valid. In fact, other factors could have been involved. For example, in the past the number of customers of the Apogee Company might be small and the company was the only single company that could produce this product....

...How to score that perfect 6.0 on GMATAWA
Anyone with an average hold on English can actually score a 6 on GMAT's Argument essay without putting too much time into it. One just needs to know how.
This guide is meant for essay-phobes who dread the blank screen with the blinking cursor and/or people who simply want to score well (or full) on the GMAT. As far as my qualifications are concerned, I recently gave the GMAT and with good confidence scored a full 6 on my GMATAWA, despite being an essay-phobe myself.
To get started, you should read Chineseburned's article on AWA Writing here -http://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-get-6-0-awa-my-guide-64327.html. The idea of his article is to form a "template" and it suggests some supporting words for you to use while writing your essay. This idea forms the meat of my strategy, and there's no point in me reproducing the material in this already well-known reference article. Also, note that the Issue essay has been discontinued much to my relief, and this guide will focus exclusively on the Argument essay. I actually waited a whole year so I could give the Next-Gen GMAT rather than the old GMAT with 2 essays, and I must say this "pathetic" strategy paid off - 780 + 6 AWA + 8 IR on my first attempt. I do believe the Quant and Verbal scores would have been negatively affected due...

The 700-800 Club Critical Reasoning Critical Reasoning Topic 1: CONCLUSION 1. In the United States, about $5,200 per person per year is spent on health care, while in Britain the amount is about half that. A recent study indicated that middle-aged white Americans have a significantly higher rate of diabetes and heart disease than do middle-aged white Britons. Even after eliminating from the study the lifestyle differences of diet, exercise, smoking, and drinking, the data showed that the Americans have poorer health than their British counterparts. The statements above, if true, best support which of the following assertions? A) Health care spending in the United States should be reduced by 50%. b) More expensive health care causes a higher incidence of certain diseases. c) The money spent on health care in the United States is not being used effectively. d) The average health care spending for middle-aged white Americans is probably less than the average health care spending for Americans in general. e) Something other than diet, exercise, smoking, and drinking must account for the difference in health for the two groups in the study. 2.
